I am wondering can't we use git as database?

  It is a database. Not a relational database, though. But the Tree objects (1) make a hierarchical database. (1) http://book.git-scm.com/1_the_git_object_model.html http://book.git-scm.com/1_the_git_object_model.html

    It will be tough to use as a useful database for most applications without cursors. I'm also not certain that its directories are ordered. If they are, I'm even more doubtful that you can specify a custom ordering.

  It's a transcriptional database :) http://wingolog.org/archives/2008/04/12/git-a-transcriptional-database http://wingolog.org/archives/2008/04/12/git-a-transcriptiona...
